My friend Luke Hohmann is hosting a great workshop in New York April 6-7. I am a huge fan of Innovation Games and consider them an essential part of my Agile/UX toolkit. You can find a few articles about these techniques on the Cooper Journal, http://www.cooper.com/journal/lane_halley/

This last weekend, several leading thinkers in the Agile UX space met at Cooper in San Francisco to explore both the potential and the challenges of integrating these disciplines.

I was at the
CodeFreeze conference last week. The 1-day gathering had the official theme
Re-designing Agility, but the theme I pulled out was
Discovery & Delivery where most Agilists are adept at delivery, but lacking in what was called
discovery (e.g., stuff like incorporating interactive designers and story mapping).

I was at the XPDay conference at the beginning of this week. The second day was mostly devoted to an Open Spaces experiment, so I took the chance to convene a session on collaboration between developers and UX practitioners. I thought people here might be interested in the write up:

This was a mainly agile developer group, let me know your thoughts.
Thanks,
Jon.

Just published a new blog post on why a key source of the Us/Them problem between Interaction and Graphic Designers and Software developers is the extent to which they are kept separate in academic institutions.

User stories are increasingly used on Agile projects. This popularity is a very good thing, especially for UX practitioners. Goal and business oriented, their simplicity and a immediate focus on acceptance criteria make them terribly effective on design projects.
Once the 3C described (Card, Conversation and Confirmation) and INVEST criteria well understood, when the team and Product Owner start to discover their own stories, they often ask me if the “User Voice” format must be respected …

I enjoyed reading Sway: The Irresistible Pull of Irrational Behavior. There are many cognitive biases that affect how we think. The authors did a nice job of distilling the research on cognitive bias into an accessible popular science book. The book made me think about how I approach web design and evaluation.
